I downloaded the new version of live, and everything was working great. Then out of the blue it starts closing the stream. I am not complaining just trying to figure this out. A lot is going on I will try to list them to see if there is any thing I might be doing wrong.
Edcast (plugin) is losing connection
Password at times will fail then next second be fine
Edcast (Plugin) Will stop working and will just get stuck and then close.
Breakaway crackels , then will close at random.Alot of Olows in Breakaway pipeline.
I was using AAC+ and that did not work at all.
Bitrate at times goes down to 10kbps then it will aproach 190, one point today hit 307
My CPU Usage is fine while all this going on maybe at most 23%I switched back to the old version and that is not so bad, and uninstalled the new pipeline.
Any ideas? I have had dell, my two stream providers,even RCS Tech support of Nexgen in my computer via remote. They can’t see anything
wrong, like an IRQ conflict or any of the other fancy words they used wrong with the puter. Could someone please give some advice here. I love the sound of breakaway, I really would be disappointed if I can’t use it. 🙁Thanks
ThomasCheck your edcast program folder. I had issues where the logfile was getting gigantic. You may try shutting off logging by edcast. If you’re running all of this on the same computer…you may be better off anyway, having a separate computer for encoding/processing from your playout machine.
Thanks sgeirk. I am not sure how to turn turn them off completely. I have tried but for some reason they still appear. As far as the 2nd computer , I am using it now with the same result. I even went so far to reinstall windows and then use that computer for Breakaway and edcast only. I just don’t get it. There has to be a bug in Edcast , Today it did it thing of oh, sorry, I cannot connect because password is invalid, then if you let it go it will connect again. 😯
Thanks
AgainIn C:Program FilesEdcast there’s a number of CFG files (this is for stand-alone, it should be similar for plugin) Edit with notepad the edcaststandalone_0 file to turn logging to mode 1 for just errors. Do this for each of the Encoders labeled _1 _2 _3, etc… Default is mode 2, I believe and that logs now playing and speed changes (if you have a 64kbps stream and it varies to 63 or 65, it logs all that mess). Change that to 1 and you should be set. Have edcast closed while you make and save your changes.
Hope that is clear.
[quote author=”calavan888″]Thank you guys I will try as you said. Does this cause edcast to disconnect at random?[/quote]
EdCast just plain doesn’t have very robust netcode at all. If your connection lags even for a split second, that could cause the dsp pipeline (not to be confused with Breakaway Pipeline VACs) to hickup and I’m not too sure how Breakaway would handle that but I wouldn’t be surprised to know that EdCast doesn’t properly handle that at all since it’s causing the dsp pipeline to do that on purpose… in an attempt to prevent host-side buffering when playing regular audio files in Winamp.I know Leif’s netcode was a tad more robust in his encoder, and I built one that allows for up to 10 seconds (or whatever you want, I’ve done 30 seconds before) of buffering and as long as the networking output buffer catches up… the listener won’t hear any skips or buffering. It even has a super sexy "Lag-O-Meter" as the colored background of the connection button/s which is aware of the network device connection state and buffering of the network stack itself… which shows you how much of the network output buffer hasn’t been able to be sent yet.
I haven’t shown this in public before, but check it out 🙂
about 9 months old now. my customized LU perceptive loudness meter, and on the right the connection button with Lag-O-Meter background. 🙂 and I had a ton of FTP uploads going to force a bit of lag.[quote author=”timmywa”]Dude, Jesse…. You should be arrested for teasing!!! Where’s that pesky download link???[/quote]
It wouldn’t be of any use to you anyways… since you can’t change the stream location of it for instance, and it’s protected by the same stuff Breakaway is. 😉 It’s just one application of the stuff I worked on that’s behind the scenes for it. It’s loading winamp plugins too, which aren’t in that screenshot.I might eventually make a multi stream version of it. We’ll see. It’s not very high on my list of priorities until whatever lies beneath the next 1.5 years starts to unfold a little more… and then maybe we’ll see.
